Monster Stone changes

??? + JPKOMonster Stones (currently dysfunctional in USKO) will be changedsubstantially. Rather than receiving different kinds of Monster Stone, you'llget only one item called "Monster's Stone" from drops. The dungeon you'll enterdepends on your level.The rewards for all dungeons will be the same, but higher levels will havebetter drop rates.A special Enchanter NPC will be placed inside the dungeons. This NPC willsell +80% attack buffs to priests and +150% Magical Attack buff for mages.You'll be able to use the stone from almost all zones (except events), butwithout a party it's too difficult.

(04-09-2009) The prices for renting Arsenal items will be doubled if yourent them on two consecutive days.(03-12-2009) Priests' Arsenal items will be changed from Lycaon Staff and Defender of theLord to Holy Animor and Piana Knights' Defender.

Changes to priests' equipping method

10-30-2008 + JPKOPriest maces will be only wearable in your right hand, and their damagewill be calculated on INT rather than STR. In PVP their damage will be reducedby an unknown amount. Other types of weapons (e.g. swords) won't be affected.

Rivalry system

(04-09-2009) By getting killed by your rival, you'll build up "anger". Youcan build up (04-23-2009) 5 stages of anger. A new skill will be added that will get morepowerful as your anger increases. Anger will be displayed by anicon on your GUI.(03-26-2009) When a player kills another, they become rivals for 5 minutes. Rivalswill be highlighted on the screen and the notice for killing whomever haskilled you will be "x has taken his/her revenge on y". Rivalry will alsoincrease the NP gained or lost.

Mining mini-game

02-25-2009 + JPKOA new NPC, "[Miner] Pitman" will be placed in multiple zones. He will allowyou tomine with a Mattock (similar to the one you mine fossils with, but this ismore expensive to repair and not tradeable). It will be available for level 35and above.Mining areas can be found outside Moradon, Luferson/El Morad Castle.In the mining area, you can automatically start mining with the spacebar.Mining will terminate if you stop it, run out of time, lose the durability ofthe Mattock, or run out of inventory space.In addition to a small amount of EXP and LOTS of rocks, you might get aMysteriousOre which can be exchanged for random items. You might get unique items, butat a low probability. Mysterious Ores are not stackable.When someone gains exp through mining, a small sprite with the text "+EXP"on it will pop up above the player. When someone finds a mysterious ore, an"+ITEM" sprite will pop up.

New and changed quests

See a list of changed quests.(09-10-2009)(08-13-2009)(05-07-2009)(03-12-2009 + JPKO)(02-26-2009 + JPKO)(01-29-2009 + JPKO) The whole questsystem is undergoing a major overhaul. First, some quests have their dayscounted - visit the Goblin battlefield and do theBBQ Delivery, Messenger of Love and Monster Suppression Squad 3 while you can.Talking about MSS, the first and second dungeons will also have lesser roles,allowing single persons to enter rather than parties. Most quests that giveweapons as a reward will give non-tradeable weapons. However there's also alot of improvement coming. EXP at lower levels will come flowing inat a rate you've never seen before. Most quests for levels 1~59 will give a lotof exp while requiring the killing of fewer monsters. Item exchange questsbecome sparser and blended in with the hunting quests so you'll likely find therequired items while hunting (although there are a few exceptions). For levels35~59, each hunt quest will be available as a "solo" version that you can keepdoing at a given level so you don't even have to look what to kill. A new setof quest armor called Troll Armor will be given as reward for level 50~54quests. Accessoryquests will be repeatable (no more begging K2 to allow them in cypher rings),although you only get EXP for the first time. Reliance of rarely-dropped itemswill diminish: Magic Jewel Powder will take only 3 of each jewel component, andyou'll need only one for the Thorn spell. Impact will also only need 7Certificates of Victory and some money. After level 60 there are less changes,but there's a big one: Scenarions. Each level from 60 to 69 will have ascenario with about 10 stages. Some of the stages merely consist of talking toa NPC but there are several major tasks included. Scenarios seem to have amini-storyline attached to them. After doing the harder tasks you'll berewarded with some EXP, NP and one of the Secret Weapons and Powerful Weapon-Breaking Armor. You can get 2 sets of these with the level 60~65 scenarios.The last stage in each scenario consists of slaying a new boss in Eslant.The final reward is 2 Certificates of Victory. This means even if you can't goto or win BDW you can get 12 Certificates of Victory from other sources.Make sure you check out the changed quests page.

(05-20-2009) Certain quest armors, including Troll and "Weapon Breaker"armors, will be available for purchase from Heppa.(03-26-2009) In Monster Suppression Squads 1 and 2, you'll get your rewardfor winning inside the dungeon, before you are warped back to town.

10-30-2008 + JPKOBosses will no longer respawn in combat zones. Instead a Chaos GuardianStone will beplaced in the middle of the zones, and when it is destroyed, bosses (includingEslant bosses) will spawn.

Expansion is awesome.However, if current version of USKO is so bugged and abused by hackers, I can not imagine how can be exploited the Chaos Expansion.I already have a lvl 37 priest there, and I can say guyz, its really nice, its like breathing air.What I've liked the most is the Chaos Battle, little mini PVP event, where u can get items to exchange for wings.Lets hope our USKO gets fixed soon.
